“We left our cats for the first time, so finding the right sitter was really important to us. We are so glad we met Bridget! She was incredibly friendly, caring, and clearly knows how to approach and interact with cats. I prepared a list and labeled all the supplies, and she followed every instruction perfectly. She also made an effort to get to know each of our cats’ unique personalities, which meant so much to us. Most importantly, our cats loved her! 🐈‍⬛🐈 She made us feel comfortable leaving them in her care, and we couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. We’ve found our go-to cat sitter for the future and would absolutely recommend Bridget to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring. Thank you, Bridget! ❤️”

About: I've had dogs my whole life, helped with training, and often would dog and house sit for friends and family. I've attended several dog training courses with some of my own dogs, as well as researching and practicing on my own. I've helped a close friend and my sister do basic training with their own dogs. I also have 2 cats, and am careful to adjust treatment of all my animals to their personality and needs! I am available Mon/Tues/Saturday. I can be available Wednesday and Thursday with advanced notice. I am only available Sundays and/or Fridays upon request and with at least 3 weeks notice. I currently work part time in the service industry and am getting ready to go back to school for a career change. My schedule is mostly flexible, but I do have a commitment to my other job as well. I'm happy to work with anyone who needs me during unavailable days, don't be afraid to ask and we can see if we can work it out! My dog is not dog friendly, so I do not do any care at my residence. However, it means I am experienced with dogs who need a bit more awareness in their care than others! I'm attentive and firm, and am willing to go for a 2 hour hike or rest in the house depending on their needs.

About: Hello all! My name is Ariel, like the mermaid :), and I have two years of experience caring for a wide variety of pets, from energetic dogs to independent cats. No matter the type of pet, I’m dedicated to ensuring they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve while you're away. I love animals with my whole heart so it was a no brainer to naturally gravitate towards Rover as not only a form of extra income, but a way to interact with them more regularly. I take pride in being highly attentive to each pet's unique needs, whether it's going for long walks, providing playtime and exercise, keeping meal times consistent, or offering snuggles and companionship. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I’m committed to following your care instructions closely, including any special dietary needs, medication routines, or any other specifics. I also provide a google form before every booking to ensure we tailor your preferred method of care to all of your pets' specific needs! I may have only two years of experience, but I approach each pet with the same level of care and responsibility that I would for my own. You can expect regular updates and photos, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I look forward to meeting your furry (or feathered, or scaly) family member and providing them with the best care possible! I currently work remotely, which means I have the flexibility to provide your pets with the love and care they need without the restrictions of a typical 9-to-5 schedule. Because I work from home, I’m available during the day to give your pets extra attention when they need it most. Welcome to your pet’s home away from home! I offer in-home pet sitting at my spacious, pet-friendly house, where your furry friend will have plenty of room to relax and play. Our lower-level den is a large, comfortable space perfect for pets to explore, stretch out, and feel right at home during their stay. Your pet won’t feel lonely here—my two friendly cats love having new companions around and are happy to provide some extra company! I make sure every pet gets the attention, love, and care they need while staying in a safe, cozy environment.

Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just lots of love and attention, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I like to think I adapt to the cats needs rather than be impatient and try to pet or carry a pet that’s clearly not comfortable with a stranger yet I have my morning free up until 2pm so getting a head start from 6 or 7am is no big deal to me. We can work together if this schedule suits you, My home carries many cat toys and scratch posts. My cats have their water and food in an easily accessible area. No toxic chemicals or plants are in my home

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Palos Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Palos Hills is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $40 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 5,783 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Palos Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Palos Hills. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
